I don't use windows but the way you are trying is definitely wrong.
In linux you just type "sage -i gap_packages-4.4.10_4" and it downloads
it (assuming you have internet) and installs it for you. It also loads the GAP
packages into the saved GAP workspace. Therefore, once it is installed,
all of the GAP packages included there are loaded automatically when
you start SAGE.
You might also want "sage -i database_gap-4.4.10".
